Road Condition Survey 2020 for the City of York with Five Quality Grades

A 2020 snapshot of automated road surface condition surveys for the City of York, UK. The data is published by the City of York Council and the Government Digital Service as part of an ongoing pilot project to extend public infrastructure lifespan.

Strengths

• Data is structured with a clear five-category ordinal scale for condition assessment.
